Study Summary

The aims of this study are to examine the effectiveness of a multi-media experiential training programme in advance care planning (ACP) for nursing staff in acute care settings. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • can the programme enhance nurses' decision-support skills

  • can the programme strengthen nurses' knowledge and confidence, and improve their attitude toward ACP?

Researchers will compare the participants in the intervention group (receive training programme) with those who are in the control group (receive no intervention) to evaluate the effectiveness of the programme.

Study Description

The study adopts a cluster randomised controlled trial with 12 weeks (T2) and 24 weeks (T3) follow-ups. A total of 234 eligible nurses working in 26 acute care hospital wards will be randomised at ward level in a 1:1 ratio into either control or intervention arms. Guided by the Theory of Planned Behaviour, we will conduct path analysis to assess the role of nurses' knowledge, attitudes and confidence on the nurses' skill performance on decision support after the intervention.
